The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

ABC and the WaPo are reporting this:

Iranian protests expand beyond the economy as students demand freedom, end to regime rule

abcnews.go.com - Iranian protests expand economy students demand freedom end

Iranian protests sparked by economic woes quickly spread across country

washingtonpost.com - Iran spreading protests economy pezeshkian

Same thing at the Beeb

Protests spread across Iran for third day after currency hits record low

BBC: Protests spread across Iran for third day after currency hits record low

All about demonstrations spawned by economic hardship. As it happens, I was watching CBS "news". CBS, run by a militant zionist, was too busy blathering about "severe weather", New Year parties, and football players, to report anything about Iran.

My first thought was that the CIA and/or Mossad was hip deep in stoking the unrest, even though the reports I saw on the Beeb said nothing about those agencies.

But Israeli media openly says what western media refuses to report.

Mossad spurs Iran protests, says agents with demonstrators in Farsi message
As protests grow across Iran, the Mossad posted an unusual Farsi message urging demonstrators to act, saying it is with them in the streets, amid rising economic pressure and public unrest.

Interesting, eh?
